The Razer Raiju PS4 controller

In an effort to enhance user experience, PlayStation invited game accessory developers and creators Razer to develop a new game controller for the PS4. Razer came up with the Razer Raiju – a newly designed game controller that looks like an Xbox controller.

Gizmodo writer Campbell Simpson writes that “it looks suspiciously like someone chucked an Xbox One controller and a PS4 controller into Photoshop and mucked around with the transparency.”

Being an Xbox gamer myself, I’ve got to agree. However, does it feel and act the same? I can’t say.

According to RazerZone, the controller is designed for the eSport enthusiast and will take gameplay to the next level. Among the controls is the quick panel which allows for easy profile and audio customization.

PS4 owners can pre-order the controller online at RazerZone and can even get a £10 discount by signing up for their newsletter.
